I propose to take Questions Nos. 24, 29, 30 and 74 together.
The proposed review of the disadvantaged areas has been submitted to the EC Commission for examination. The results of this examination cannot be published until it has been examined by the EC Commission. If the Commission accepts the submission a detailed proposal will be made to the EC Council of Agriculture Ministers which takes the final decision after consultation with the European Parliament.
